About This Item
From the back cover: "Nearly 50,000 Allied merchant seamen lost their lives during the last war. Here, in Jack Currie's vivid words, accompanied by many rare pictures, memorabilia and unpublished memoirs, is the heroic and largely forgotten story of how they got their crucial cargoes through. At the mercy of Axis torpedoes, guns and bombs, they faced danger at sea in some of the most lonely and terrible places on earth, from the storm-tossed North Atlantic to the vast emptiness of the Pacific. Theirs was a quite crucial contribution to the winning of the war." Many b/w photos plus some colour photos and illustrations, including some cookbooks.
